Privacy Policy | FlaxHire

At FlaxHire, your privacy isn't an afterthought—it's the foundation of how we build our platform. We believe that searching for a job or hiring the right talent shouldn't mean sacrificing your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains in plain English what information we collect, why we need it, and how we keep it safe.

1. The Information We Collect

To make the hiring process seamless, we collect information that you explicitly provide to us, as well as some technical data automatically when you use our platform.

Account Information: When you sign up, we collect your name, email address, and account credentials.
Profile Data: For candidates, this includes your resume, employment history, skills, education, and portfolio links. For employers, this includes company details, industry, and job descriptions.
Usage Data: We automatically log standard technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you interact with our pages (e.g., jobs you save or apply to).

2. How We Use Your Information

We only use your data to provide and improve the FlaxHire experience. Specifically, we use it to:

Connect candidates with relevant job opportunities and employers.
Maintain the security and integrity of your account and our platform.
Send you important updates regarding your applications, interviews, or account status.
Analyze platform usage to design better features and a smoother user interface.

3. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data to data brokers or marketing agencies. We only share your information in the following specific scenarios:

With Employers: When you apply for a job, your profile, resume, and contact information are shared with the hiring company.
With Service Providers: We use trusted third-party services (like cloud hosting and email providers) that need access to your data to help us run the platform securely. They are strictly bound by confidentiality agreements.
For Legal Reasons: If required by law, subpoena, or to protect the safety and rights of our users, we may disclose your information to legal authorities.

4. Your Choices and Rights

You own your data. At any time, you have the right to:

Access and Update: Modify your profile, resume, and account details directly from your dashboard.
Delete Your Account: You can request to permanently delete your account and associated data from our active databases via your account settings.
Opt-Out: Choose what types of email notifications you receive by adjusting your communication preferences.

5. How We Keep Your Data Safe

We use industry-standard security measures, including encryption, secure socket layers (SSL), and restricted access protocols, to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, so we encourage you to use a strong password and keep it confidential.

6. Changes to this Policy

We may update this policy occasionally as we add new features or as laws change. If we make significant changes, we will notify you via email or by placing a prominent notice on our website before the changes take effect.
